There is a certain charm (haha) to Charm City Books. I don’t know why but the second I walked in I couldn’t stop smiling. There are lots of cute bookstores in the world and this one is the cutest!! The vibes are cozy and welcoming to all. Browsing books just seems more approachable here than in other stores. I saw lots of events on their calendar so they seem very community oriented which is lovely!

Lovely bookshop with a great variety of genres and authors (other than typical big name authors you see in chain stores). Also a lovely collection of gifts for all ages, like bags, toys, clothing, games, etc. there's a lot area for purchasing tea (although I didn't look too closely). The shop doggos are adorable and well behaved. Definitely stop in when you can! The employees are wonderful and will happily gush over titles with you & give recs.

The store looks amazing and is fun to browse. There are 2 very friendly old dogs that greet you as you walk in. The building is a converted row home so you're able to go upstairs to the children's section. The staff were extremely helpful, and a known customer was the person who recommended my daughter a great book which we purchased. Great experience, support this small business!!
